New McCain Ad Ties Obama To Congress
(ST. PAUL) As their convention gets back on track in St. Paul, the McCain campaign is out with a new line of attack against Barack Obama. A new ad attempts to tie Barack Obama to the Democrats in Congress. The ad superimposes images of Obama with several Senate Democrats, trying to show that they will together bring big spending and higher taxes.
“Take away the crowds, the chants, all that’s left are costly words,” the ad begins with familiar pictures from Obama’s speech in Berlin as the backdrop. The ad then moves to a picture of Obama, but then quickly shifts to pictures of Congress and pictures of Democratic Senators Chris Dodd, Byron Dorgan, Harry Reid, Patrick Leahy and Charles Schumer. The narrator continues: “Barack Obama and out of touch congressional leaders have expensive plans – billions in new government spending, years of deficits, no balanced budgets and painful tax increases on working American families. They are ready to tax, ready to spend, but not ready to lead.” An image of Obama then appears with the last line, replaying the common line the McCain campaign has employed about their rival.
The ad, entitled “Expensive Plans,” is a joint project between the McCain campaign the Republican National Committee. It is running in 14 states: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.

Republicons never let reality get in the way of a good story.
Along with the huge profits made by War Contractors with tax breaks.
The deficit has been risen to over $9 Billion Dollars by the Republicans making them more then wealthy while the American Middle Class has seen their lifestyle decreased and will be further forced into poverty if another 4 years term is obtained by the Conservative Republican Party.
Seems tame after all the vetting of McCain''s veep Palin. And it ain''t over yet. :)
BRING BACK ROMNEY !
Before it''s to late !
What a low blow John Mccain and the Republicans are trying to stick to Brack Obama. No other President have spent so much on War or anything at that in the History of the United Stats,like president Bush has.It is so funny when they try to say Democrats are spending crazy when you have a president who doesn''t know his left foot from his right and the costing almost 300 million a day. Whatever bill Democrats waste money on for sure doesn''t come close to this figure.
-Obama 08 : For working class Americans who are not middle class(5 mILLION A year sallary)
And this from a man who has 7 or 10 houses and wears $500 shoes?
Schmidt and Rove ran Bush''s campaigns and now run McCains. They only know one tune %u2013 negative attack ads driven by pollsters. They will attack anything that breathes and moves in order to sell the America People a 3rd Bush Term. They have no positive message. McCain has supported Bush on over 90 percent of the issues. Schmidt and Rove can''t spin their way of out this. Its still Obama/Biden vs McCain/Bush.
Obama/Biden have the message of change that can end the gridlock in Washington DC.
WHAT WOULD JFK DO?
Governor Palin had the political courage to stand up to corrupt public officials, some of whom were in her own party. She exposed their corruption, took them on, and won.
Senator Obama, when confronted with racist rants coming from his own pastor, didn''t even have enough political courage to disavow him. Obama eventually DID disavow him but only AFTER Pastor Wright made disparaging, and humiliating remarks about the Senator and his motives at The Washington Press Club.
Which of these instances would JFK have been more likely to have included in his book, "Profiles In Courage"?
Everyone finds it quite fashionable to compare Senator Obama to JFK. I remember JFK, and trust me when I say, "Senator Obama is No JFK".
